| Summary: | One of the earliest and most common adverse events of radiotherapy in patients with oropharyngeal cancers is mucositis. Radiation-induced mucositis significantly impairs the quality of life, patient compliance, and sometimes even long-term treatment outcomes. Currently, there is a wide range of drugs and techniques for the prevention and treatment of this complication.

The present review aims to analyze the efficacy of hyaluronic acid in the prevention and treatment of oropharyngeal mucositis. |
